Reminds me of this classic:
Blue cheese mold is a banger!
Blue cheese is delicious though! Especially with hot wings!
Stuff raspberries with it. 🔥
Or on a burger. Especially on a pepper crusted burger along with sauteed mushrooms.
Dang, now you’re making me hungry 🤤
I’ve yet to find a burger that’s better than just caramelised onions, blue cheese, and quality beef. I might add a leafy something out of arterial guilt, but I can’t say it improves anything.
Bacon, that burger needs bacon.
I like to add a tiny dab to ginger snap cookies.
That sounds absurd but I kinda want to try it now lol
So you’re telling me for it to be edible it has to be on something that’s completely delicious on its own…
Also that’s still a hard pass. Even on the burger which is more of the same lol.
Nope. What I said was it’s especially delicious with hot wings.
I can’t speak for everyone, but it’s been my experience that people don’t tend to just hunker down and eat a block of cheese by itself. Most cheeses are meant to go with something else, unless you’re Charlie Kelly getting ready for a big date.
I mean… tell that to every person who eats a pinch full of cheese any time they open a shredded bag…
Or fuck some up on a snack board. (I suppose that’s loosely with something else.)
But good cheese is definitely able to just be sliced and ate on the spot. Just make sure it’s off the block and BAM.
Blue cheese though? I’ll leave the stank foot blue waffle cheese to y’all.
Nope, it’s perfectly delicious all by itself.
Penicillium roqueforti is our friend! Unless it’s in grain, then it makes toxic compounds and causes spoilage. So it’s our frenemy.
That’s nothing. There are even worse cheeses out there.
Also aspergillus is used in the production of ricewine and sake. Moldy food is all over the place.
I had forgotten that the larvae jump. For some reason that makes it so, so much worse to me. If I were to eat an arthropod-originating cheese I would probably prefer to try mite cheese.
Honey fans eating literal bug vomit.
Mushroom fans eating literal reproductive organs.
Lots of things sound gross when you think about their origins. Just eat what you like.
Montana has an event called the Testicle Festival, so they’re not even trying to conceal the origins of Rocky Mountain Oysters.
Bees store the nectar in a honey stomach, where no digestions happen at all. So it’s not bug vomit.
Are bees a ruminant?
They’re also bees, which are notably distinct from humans in ways almost too numerous to count.
Can I please have another bee fact?
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.
That was bumble bees specifically, and we do know how they fly
bees sometimes fly, like flies, but not exactly like flies; though they do fly. Bees do. Well, flies also fly, but differently. Not that differently if you don’t care about such distinctions, but pretty differently if you do. I wish I could fly. That last one wasn’t a bee fact. It was a me fact.
I read this with Morgan Freeman voice and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you. Never have I rejoiced more in the rereading of my own comment.
“Vomit” doesn’t require digestion to be called vomit. If it was in a stomach and then came back out via a mouth, it’s vomit.
So you’re calling a newborn baby vomit? (/s)
Though the baby’s path has lips it’s really not a mouth
They’re clearly vaginal shit
And standard cheese is just milk way way past its conservation date.
cannibals are like right?? just let people enjoy what they want
is eating your own nails cannibalism because i know a person named Paul that eats his own toe nails
yes Paul is a deviant and must be stopped
Yoghurt?
Imagine you’re chilling at the park and all the sudden some asshole rips your dick off and eats it
Delerious Mr T. flashbacks intensify
I will not.
I imagined it for you. Your penis was delicious.
Your penis was delicious.
That’s what your mom said to me last night
This dudes a mushroom
He does seem like quite a fungi, my bro
Lol
That was meeee!!! Best friends!

Eggs are technically chicken’s periods when you think about it.
Wait really? That’s so interesting. So eggs you buy at the store aren’t fertilized? (Not sure if that’s the right word but ykwim)
Typical mass market eggs are unfertilized, but eggs from smaller scale or hobby farms are usually fertilized. On a small scale, it’s easier to keep the hens safe from wildlife with a rooster around, but on a large scale they’re just a waste of feed. If you’re curious, fertilized eggs have a tiny red dot in the egg white.
The hens are more relaxed with a rooster around, too, so they are good to have if you care about animal welfare. Just wish people stopped buying them in residential areas.
Some countries sell packs of chicken offal, and you can see what the eggs look like before they get far enough along in the bird to have a shell
Correct. You can get fertilized ones too. Look up balut. Or don’t.
That don’t is a weak recommendation to not look it up, depending on the person it can be terrible to look at
Least honey and mushrooms offer benefits. The hell does eating blue mold do.
Honey can literally kill humans
Everything can kill humans if you have enough of it.
Valid af
People have been hospitalised for too much spinach
Based everything
The hell does eating blue mold do.
Douse my brain in endorphins because it’s friggin delicious.

It’s penicillin. Eating it not much but it does hold benefits aside from tasting good and calories
When it comes down to it lots of people eat things just because they like them not because it’s beneficial. Obviously that can lead to unhealthy eating but in moderation there’s nothing wrong with it.
reads this while munching on ramen at work
Yup I like it. No it’s not very healthy.
Um, you know where ramen grows, right?
They grow on Ramen Trees. It’s an offshoot of Spaghetti Trees
The ramen Gods. This is the origin of the phrase “Ramen” after a prayer.
Yes but that ramen does not grow on their heads.
" Believed to have originated in a cave in Roquefort, France, blue cheese is available in a handful of varieties including gorgonzola, stilton, and cambozola. The blue veins characteristic of blue cheese develop from the bacteria Penicillium Roqueforti that grow within small punctures created on top of the cheese loaves at the beginning of the cheese ripening process.
Though blue cheese is typically high in sodium, it is rich in dairy protein, dietary fats, and essential vitamins and minerals including calcium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, and vitamin A. What makes each variety different is the type of milk used, the length of ripening, and the result texture and flavor."

the bacteria Penicillium roqueforti
I don’t think that article knows what a bacterium is. Penicillium is a fungus.
Bah! Missed that. Thanks for the catch! I was looking for nifty things blue cheeses did nutritionally. Mostly seems they are just cheese.
I love it so much.
It’s amazing, but I never peer pressure anybody to try it.
Because it’s great when there’s a cheese board and you get to hoard the blue cheese because people are “ew, gross, mold”.
My sides lmao! Though I do like blue cheese
Wait until you find out about Koji and how soy sauce is made.
Wine is spoiled grapes, all cheese is just milk you left out for so long it got dry and sausages are what happens when you disembowel a pig and stuff its guts with its own minced ass. Today I ate a thing that looks like the first draft of an Aliens facehugger they rejected for being too spiky.
People buy food so processed they forget we’re just gross hungry animals just putting random things in their mouths to see if it keeps them alive for a bit.
Sausages are also commonly inoculated with mold. The powdery coating on aged salami is Penicillium nalgiovense.
And some of the fanciest, most expensive wines are made from moldy grapes. Botrytis cinerea, when consistently wet and humid, causes “grey rot” which spoils the grapes. When it dries out, though, it becomes the “noble rot” which is prized.
Absolutely, if you’ve ever made the types of sausages for cold cuts at home it’s very obvious. People think the white powdery thing is just cool packaging (and to be fair in ultraprocessed crap it can be), but nope, that stuff is transparent when you get started.
Also, the “transparent stuff”? Disemboweled guts. I mean, the mold should be the least of your concerns if you’re going by gross-out factor.
“Cheese is just milk gone off big time styly.” - Stephen Fry
Fun part is, Aspergillus oryzae (fungi used to make koji) can develop into dangerous strains that release heavy toxins able to easily paralyze an adult forever.
This is one if the reasons they say not to try making your own spores and to restart batches with commercially purchased spores. One of the things people do with it is fast age steaks over 24 hours at room temp by growing a layer of it on the steaks surface (moldy steaks). Also isnt Aspirgillus is a mold not a fungi?
Mold is a structure formed by some fungi. Mold is always fungal.
I am literally eating blue cheese and enjoying the fuck off it, it’s the king of cheeses for me.
I love Gorgonzola but I never tried this. Is it similar?
I think they are one and the same
You can’t eat a big bite of it. That’s a rookie move. Just a little bit on a triscuit, maybe some mustard or salami with it, fucking mint.
Cranberries are awesome with it
Damnnn. I’m about to go get some stilton and cranberries right after work now.
I am a blue cheese veteran and I would literally eat a big bite. it’s so good. gimme the mold
Blue cheese drizzled with honey and topped with pecans is great.
Honey and cheese in general – mwah. I like a fresh slice of challah with brie and honey on top.
blue cheese has mold in it
you have shit in you.
How did the surgury to remove your colon and both intestines go, Mr. Walter “Shitfree” Malone?
Yea but I rarely eat it
I appreciate your honesty.
Friendly reminder:
Unless you grow and/or slaughter ALL your own food, you have eaten and will continue to eat both the intentional and unintentional shit, piss, spit, and cum of food processors, transporters, and preparers your entire life.
I know that freaks a lot of people out, personally it just reminds me that the idea of being clean in this world has always been a illusion and that there’s no point obsessing over something out of my control.
If we wanted that to happen significantly less, we could compensate and respect said workers commensurate with their vital role to society, fulfilling a universal basic human need, instead of treating them like shit, paying them shit, and calling food preparation/processing/serving “unskilled,” but we won’t, so enjoy!
Oh, you are giving a lot more credit to homemade food than it deserves. Or you’re surprisingly alright with eating your own of all of the above.
Aren’t we all continuously eating our own spit?
You left all the interesting ones out of that, though.
If you jerk off in a hot enough shower the cum scrambles just like eggs.
Mold is a fungus. Same group as mushrooms, yeast, etc. Some mushrooms are edible and delicious. So are some molds. The mold in blue cheese is not the same as the kind that makes food inedible.
Yet for some of us we can taste that it is a mold and it triggers a gag/gross out effect. My dad loves it. For me it is “hmm not bad” then “ugh that is rotten” and my tastebuds/brain vascillate between those experiences as I’m chewing it
I’m the only member of my family that dislikes it
Smells great
Tastes worse than almost anything I’ve put in my mouth. Like, doesn’t even have a flavor per se, just tastes of “get that out of my mouth”
Never has a description of the experience of consuming blue cheese felt more accurate.
